I bet he drives a 1988 Dodge Caravan and is just really angry at anything related to sportscars and people who enjoy them - so he has these "locker room" arguments instead of just enjoying the cars.

C6 Zo6... great looks, awesome price.. affordable price... practical, reliable, almost 200mph 0-60 in less than 4 on a good day! cant really ask for much more plus RC did say affordable.. no Ferrari 430 or Lambo Gallardo in this category. For me the choice is easy.

just a quick note, the Z06's top speed is supposed to be 202 but GM advertises it as 198 for some reason. Perhaps this is to ease the nerves of the buyer's wife.

Yeah it's just like how Ford GT's top speed was actually 212mph, but Ford played it down for some reason.

Buy it and spent the rest of the money on making it faster better handling and top braking and make it lighter.
Al the cars i mentioned must be capable of hard trackday's

Obviously you didn't do very well in math. What do you have, a B.A.? Let me help you here with a concept called 'rounding numbers'. If you remove one decimal place, you round up, if the decimal number is greater than 0.5, and down if it's less. More specific to this example; in order for the Z06 to have turned a true 7:42, the actual time would have had to have been 7:42.49 or LESS, not 7:42.9.

Man, you have certainly exemplified your level of proficiency here... Keep it up!
so now we are "rounding" up? I never once claimed i was rounding, simply truncating is also mathamatical truth surely you already knew that as well.

as it turns out, the 2006 Tungston "sometimes press" "sometimes engineering pre-prod" car hit 216.. same car I drove back in June last year.
